Private Tom Beddoes is a delicate, unprepossessing young man who gets called to join the British army during World War II. With the Blitz on, he leaves home for training camp and, while not an exceptional soldier, is nevertheless toughened up a bit. Once out, he quietly endures the tedious shuffle of military life and even manages to meet a nice girl while on leave. His happiness is alloyed, however, when he learns he's been chosen for the D-Day invasion.
